Catching up with this case after a long absence, forgive my ignorance of the complexities of US legal proceedings which are limited to knowing what a sidebar is, basically.
Glad LV's been found guilty, listened to phone calls her sister and eldest son had with her, heartbreaking stuff, she's an utter narcissist (there's one in my family, not as deadly but has caused a lot of pain over the years)
Expect CD to use a line of defence that she was in charge assisted by AC...not buying it, but expecting it. Not sure how much I can say with his trial pending...
Watched the impact statements and sentencing hearing this weekend...my heart breaks for the family and as for her contribution to the sentencing...wow, just wow. Deluded, in denial, whatever, typical narcissist behaviour. She managed to make it all about herself and the comments she made about the children being happy and busy and telling her she did nothing wrong were pretty sick. She just wanted to make a new start and airbrush those kids out of her life. Terrible.
I've ordered a book called The Doomsday Mother to try and understand the background/timeline a little better, and will continue to keep an eye on developments from here in the UK. The book gets quite good reviews here so hoping it will help me get my head around this complex case a little more.
So if she's convicted of charges in relation to CV, could she get the death penalty? I know she managed to avoid it in Idaho, but what about Arizona? If I understand it correctly, they resumed carrying out lethal injections in 2022 after an eight year hiatus.
My thoughts with the families and all involved who have suffered, especially Tylee and little JJ.
R.I.P.
